Shared places as this is all approximate. I still don’t keep accurate records. Surprised there’s not more Burgundy here, but then my buying there is more spread out.

  4. Max Kilburg
  5. Guffens-Heynen

Relatively new to the wine game - got into it during the pandemic. I honestly didn’t expect this mix when I ran the numbers, but it’s quite interesting. I’ve been cutting back on US wines over the last year or so and allocating more to France and Italy, so I imagine those will grow.

Raen - 9%
Aubert - 6%
Domaine de la Cote - 6%
Horsepower - 5%
Produttori del Barbaresco - 4%
Domaine Tempier - 4%
Talenti - 3%
Pontet-Canet - 3%
Kobayashi - 2%

Edit: bunch of stuff tied at 1% so just did 9

Fun thread. Mine doesn’t surprise me too much, mainly makes me sad because so much of it is decades away from being ready to drink :sob:

  1. Montrose (includes a decent amount of Dame)
  2. Leoville Barton (would’ve thought this was #1)
  3. Haut-Bailly
  4. Pontet Canet
  5. Domaine de Chevalier
  6. Pichon Lalande
  7. Grand Puy Lacoste
  8. Lagrange (bumped into the top 10 by some insane wine.com deals back in the glory days)
  9. Produttori
  10. Malartic Lagraviere (mildly surprising)

Hi Steve, thanks for the insight! A cursory scroll suggests I have had the good fortune to sample several producers scattered throughout the @Robert_Panzer portfolio, and it now seems I will be forging a closer bond with messieurs Audoin and Lafouge. I do happen to be a great admirer of the more “humble” villages of Burgundy, in fact I likely drink more such wines than any other the world over, and my cynicism is frequently checked by the abundance of quality I encounter (most recently by a Marsannay from Domaine du Vieux College, unbelievable depth and interest for €25). Make no mistake, my pursuit is ceaseless. I will fill this absurd bingo card of vineyards before my time is up. I may grumble only because I am haunted by the knowledge that one could snag some Nuits-Saint-Georges for less than a plane ticket only a handful of years ago. :crazy_face:

  5. Conseillante
  6. Donnhoff
  7. Huet

That is a lot of Peter Wagner in one year?

938
  1. Kinsman Eades
  2. Bedrock
  3. Realm
  4. Rhys
  5. Leoville Barton
  6. Beta
  7. Lisini
  8. Produttori del Barbaresco
  9. Fingers Crossed
  10. Myriad

Man, that was not surprising but also not what I mentally pictured. I feel too heavy on Cali!

Had some already, but got some great deals (also some back vintages) so bought a lot of bottles. Across the full range. Fantastic wines and as to QPR, you can’t really do better imo
